by Adriel Menor - July 14, 2017. Maui SCCA was able to hold it’s first race of the season on Sunday, June 25, 2017. It was not without complications initially. The race was supposed to happen in May, but due to an unforeseen problem with the timing system that race was postponed. With the timing corrected, fourteen (14) drivers were confronted with a technical course that required a lot of direction change. There was even a five (5) cone slalom that decreased in distance for the later cones.

This was also the first race were raw times were recorded and a PAX multiplier was added to create a PAX time and ranking. For more information, you can search the concept of the PAX multiplier online. The top raw time driver was Russ Rosen in his 2002 blue Corvette with a best clean raw time of 48.30. Second best raw time belonged to drift/autocross driver Kelson Uradomo in his wildly prepped FC RX7 with a time of 48.81. Third best raw time belonged to Adriel Menor in his STR prepped 2006 Miata/MX5 with a time of 48.90.

The PAX time rankings resulted in Adriel Menor having the top PAX time of 40.59 followed by Jonathan Sameshima in his C Stock 2004 RX8 with a time of 40.69 and third best PAX time belonged to Alain Menor who co-drove the STR Miata/MX5 with a time of 40.97. Lastly, the event marked the return of our club president, Karl Rohlfing in his Factory Five racer named Naheka (Hawaiian for “snake”). Our next event is Sunday, July 23, 2017. Gates open at 8:00 a.m.

Solo
Overview

Solo is
the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo events are
driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and
the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by
driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low
hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip.
While speeds are no greater than those normally encountered in
legal highway driving, the combination of concentration and car
feedback creates an adrenaline pumping experience. It is like
being in a movie chase scene, only you are holding onto the
steering wheel instead of a box of popcorn!
